Abstract
The development of tissue engineering has given us the possibility of treating organic pathologies, whether congenital or acquired. Langer and Vacanti, in their article titled “Tissue Engineering” in 1993, defined tissue engineering as “an interdisciplinary field that applies the principles of engineering and sciences of life in order to develop biological substitutes that restore, maintain or improve the function of a tissue or an organ” [10].
